EVENT

A few years ago Eric Isaacson began touring Europe, humbly but meticulously presenting his ideas and personally imbued histories of music. With resounding success. He visited DE PLAYER in September 2016 alongside Mississippi-affiliated artists Marisa Anderson, Lori Goldston, and Dragging An Ox Through Water. He will return to DE PLAYER with another captivating live film/talk/slide show presentation that revolves around the Alan Lomax archive. Additional program tba.

MISSISSIPPI Records is a modern day record phenomena. Based in Portland, Oregon, it is a local shop and a outernational record label that releases unheralded lost classics from all over the globe; collections of Harry Smith's anthologies, Alan Lomax's recordings, quick off the shelf undercover albums (that sell out pretty much as soon as they are made) - all truly amazing compilations that wear the compilers tastes loud and proud.Mississippi Records has produced over 280 LP's & cassettes that defy borders, with unheard songs and sounds that where being left under the bed, out in the shed and unloved by most record companies. They have managed to do this on a shoestring budget, without ever advertising or engaging in promotion of any kind & distributing only through DIY avenues.Eric Isaacson will be our guide through the highs and lows of music history with a keen eye on the marvellous outsider types. His live presentation is a combination of film, slide show, lecture and soundscape.
